Today, in addition to triaging a number of new, incoming issues, we triaged a bunch of existing issues that hadn't been assigned to a milestone. We wanted to see how many should be assigned to WiX v4. We didn't get through all of them and will have to wrap up their triage at our next meeting. Normally that next meeting would be held in two weeks, but as Rob will be on spring break -- presumably his kids' spring break, though I hold out hope it's a FireGiant-wide spring break so I can celebrate First Contact Day with a not-quite-new look back at 70s-style hair and pajama uniforms -- our next meeting is scheduled for three weeks out, 14-April.

Unfortunately, Rob and Sean disagreed with my opinion on more than one occasion today, even though I'm the one who writes these highlights. Nonetheless, I shall maintain my highest levels of editorial neutrality and fairly report their bad opinions and general poopyheadedness.

Read moreToday's meeting covered triage and discussion of the perils of relying on the cloud (aka other people's computers). It was prime. Literally, as 229 is a prime number. In fact, it's the 50th prime number, which must be an important anniversary deserving of celebration.
Read moreRob's "manual digital automation system" -- where "digital" refers to fingers -- didn't quite get around to sending mail notifying everyone of today's meeting. So while we didn't have a thundering horde of viewers watching the live stream, we nonetheless managed to attract someone new, who'd never attended before. I'll call that a win!
Read moreToday's meeting is the first in 2022 and the first being live-streamed on YouTube. Those two (mildly) interesting facts did not substantially change our long-proven formula: Triage issues, talk about stuff, make bad jokes.
